BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream Review

Hello ^^
BRTC seems to be quite popular recently, so I purchased some samples. Here is review of the most popular one, Jasmine Water.


Product description: BB cream that helps soothing and moisturising of dry and sensitive skin.
Wrinkle improving  + Whitening functions + UV protection SPF30 / PA++


The full size product is a 60g tube, I was testing out sample sachets.



I ordered three samples and for the convenience I've emptied them to a little jar container. Samples are quite generous and the cream is veeeeery efficient - I can't even count how many times I already used it, probably somewhere between 7 and 10 times and I still didn't finish the sample off.

Among other BRTC samples.
The moment I open the container I can smell jasmine. I am not the biggest fan of this smell, but it also doesn't bother me much. Fades away during application. The consistency is quite thick, so works well with make-up sponge. When applied by fingers must be pat into the skin. With this you need to be very careful about how much you use - it's very moisturising and nourishing, applied in excess is too heavy, especially for my oily skin. I noticed that when I apply is straight from the container I tend to overdose, so now I scoop out half of a pea size from the container onto top of my palm and apply it on face from palm. When carefully applied my skin becomes oily after approx. 3h, which is my standard time. I need to blot my face approx. three times, with every blotting cream seams to disappear a little. If I apply it in the morning I would have to completely re-apply it in the evening to go out.


There is no much shade difference between Jasmine and other BRTC creams.
 The colour match my complexion quite well. Coverage is nice, evens out skin tone, but looks natural, blends well into skin. It also doesn't roll in my wrinkles which is a plus, however it doesn't conceals enlarged pores very, I think it actually makes them more visible. It's probably because of quite strong "glow effect" - for me leaving the house without the mattifying powder is a complete no-no, but glow lovers will be delighted. The pore covering primer is also a must for me.
As for the whitening - I didn't notice any effect on my skin.

Price of full size product: from £9 on e-Bay. Product is also available in set with vibratory puff applicator from £22.


Pros:
+ moisturising
+ nice shade, blends well into skin
+ a little goes a very long way
+ evens out skin tone, but looks natural
+ doesn't roll up in wrinkles

Cons:
- need to be careful with application - heavy when overdosed
- makes pores more visible
- quite strong shine/glow effect (but it may be a plus for someone) 

I believe that this would be a great product for people with rather dry skin. For me it is a good enough product, however I don't plan to re-purchase, I would rather be looking for something lighter.

  1. I totally agree with you when you say it's moisturising! I find that it gives off a subtle, light glowy look? (or maybe that's because I applied a primer underneath it..)
    Mind checking out my review on it please?
